Been a member since '04... what happened? New design blows, and no one posts anymore. Please change it back.

 

ok so tell us what needs to be changed...we are not gonna get the legacy site back it was too unstable among other things

 

what really bothers me is that my message tab keeps on flashing even with all message being read.. i would have to open once in awhile.

 

Ace, when the messages were imported from the old legacy system ALL of them were assumed to be un-read by the new system.

You really do need to go through and bulk update them all as being read - which you can do a page at a time.

If you don't do that the message tab will flash until the start of the skiing season in Hell...

^^ i thought I already did that before but i did it again right now and its gone lol

 

Tell us how you really feel?

As much as I may or may not like the new design and software... it is what we have now and the old stuff certainly is not going to be coming back. Now if you want to provide something constructive on what specifically "blows" and what you think may actually help it, we're all ears.

 

I'm posting.

 

I think it would be nice if the message tab always stays on the screen at all times like the old SL, that way we know that we already have a pm and not have to hit home and search again the thread we are watching

 

For some reason it took me sometime to figure things here, i dont have much complain of the new format.. just have more features so it takes sometime to get used to it. I dont really explore though, i just use what i need

 

I didn't like it at first, but only because it was a different layout. Now a few weeks into use, it completely blows out the old layout of the water. So quit crying and accept the change.

 

Haha... if Jon likes it, I don't think anyone else has anything else to complain about.

 

lol, seriously, there isn't much to not like about it. Video embedding, more storage for PMs, quick edit, and it actually works.

 

huge message storage is great feature, the video too.. and oh no more critical error

 

I wasn't complaining to be rude. The inconvenience of the new site design makes me not want to come here... and SL used to be my homepage.

The biggest thing for me is that the newest posts for my category (xB) used to be listed on the main page with the newest posts on top. It was easy to see what was new and what was responded to recently at a glance. Now the same posts are still on there from when the site was switched over.

Another thing is that the site is always trying to have me log in when I already have.

The model-specific list of "Items for Sale this week" is also blank. I used to do a lot of buisness here on SL.

Also, it used to be simple to hit the "my posts" button and see everything I've posted, regardless of it was a day, a week, or whatever. Just a chronological list without having to filter the search.

There are a few other niggles here and there, but it mainly comes down to it takes way too much time for me to see the recent posts on SL, which makes me just read bB Squad or other more specialized sites instead.

 

I might be missing something, but is there a "view last post" function for viewing threads?

 

Ace, if you look at the the same corner of the page where you used to get a big red flashing indicator that you had a private message, you will see the NEW private message indicator that has been there since the day we moved to the new software...



You can also turn the instant notifications on in you profile and the system will pop up a notification box telling you you have a PM and asking it you want it to open it in a new window (or just tell it to go away).

Sadly, that page is broken because those pages were all hand coded and hacked for the old software, and it will take having new software written to perform those functions, and the folks doing things can only do so much at a time. Fixing that is one the (long) list of things to be fixed, but there is no assurance they will even be able to fix it. Sorry!

Have you cleared your ScionLife.com cookies AND checked the "Remember me" box when you've logged on? If not, the system will not maintain your login if you go away for a while then come back.

Sadly, the same "new software" answer from above applies.

Yes, indeed! There are things to click to go to the first post, the last post, and the first unread post...

Here's How I answered that in another thread here in website discussion:

https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=172013

We really are working on fixing the problems we have identified, but some of the way things used to be will never be the same again.

One little new thing I'm going to try to get taken care of is to make the "first new post" clickie much more noticeable. I can design the new button, but I have to have the IB techies install it.

I'm trying for this instead of this

Tom

 

it still blows.

 

i like it..
old SL lagged a lot and was down way too often

 

Tomas- thanks for the well-versed explanations, as usual. I do hope that things can be streamlined in the future so it's more like SL 1.0, but less buggy.

 

Thanks for the contribution...
